MTG, medical, WTF 

...so one of the players at Wizard's invitational tournament had a seizure during a game. He's seizing for a good 5-10 seconds and they didn't even pause the game to check on him. o.O

re: MTG, medical, WTF 

@Doephin To be fair, there's not much you can do for someone, medically, before a seizure hits the five-minute mark. (At which point it's something to call EMTs about 'cause it's not resolving on its own.) Move furniture out of the way, sure, but even that takes more than 10sec.

re: MTG, medical, WTF 

@Verdigris I feel like the least they can do is go "Whoa, delay of game until he's back and OK"

re: MTG, medical, WTF 

@Doephin Yeah, that would've been decent of them from a disability standpoint. How long did it take for him to recover?

re: MTG, medical, WTF 

@Verdigris He sort of drunkenly plays a card after about 10 seconds, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was impaired for the rest of that match.

re: MTG, medical, WTF 

@Doephin That sounds about right, yeah. :/
